Should You Buy the 2022 Tesla Model X?

Good reliability is the verdict here. This is the strongest of the eight scored Model X years, and it sits above average among 2022 SUVs. The years on either side look worse. Both 2021 and 2023 carry mixed reliability and rate worse than this one.

Owners have filed no complaints for this year, and federal recall records list no recalls. That leaves no symptom to describe and no recall that would keep the car off the road. The data does not mark this year as too new to judge, so the clean record counts in its favor. The neighbors tell a different story. The 2021 year has 38 complaints and 23 recalls, and the 2023 year has 183 complaints and 16 recalls.

Of the Model X years, this is the one to look at first. The data shows no problem pattern to check for, so ask the seller for full service records and confirm the car's own history before you buy.

Compared to the 2023 Tesla Model X, which scored 25 points lower. See also the 2021 Tesla Model X for an earlier comparison.
